Meet Mark Valencia, the man behind RU-vid sensation Self Sufficient Me, a gardening channel with a difference. A self-taught gardener, Mark has captivated over one million subscribers with his honest approach to outdoor living, mistakes and all. Embarking on a journey of self-sufficiency over 10 years ago, Mark and his family turned their Queensland acreage into a thriving food source, recording their journey along the way.
In this video, we go behind the RU-vid personality to find out more about Mark and how he went from Army Sergeant to successful video creator.
We are proud to inspire people from all walks of life across Australia to care for the environment, to cultivate an outdoor sanctuary, to grow food, and to learn and inspire each other, our children, neighbours and friends. Through our Cultivating Connections series, we hope to bring some of these wonderful stories to life.

Mark, I owe so much to you. You have no idea how much your video's have done for me. Thank you for teaching me since 2017 how to garden. Gardening rewards are 10x more than growing food. Congratulations on your success and I wish you many more to come. Cheers mate from Texas.

Inspiring Mark! Nature IS nurture! Your PTSD, has in fact become a huge blessing to thousands around the world…your wife’s suggestion to relieve her”boredom” also was instrumental in this blessing.while caring for my elderly (keen gardening) parents at a retirement village on Bribie Island, I volunteer gardened at the facility, and had the joy of making it beautiful and productive. The language of growing food and flowers crosses all boundaries! Blessings to you. 🙏🏾💕🎶🦋🐸

We have 13 Embden geese, 8 🐔🐓, and 2 🇬🇳 fowl, 7 steel gardening beds for vegetables, one huge concrete gardening bed, two wooden gardening beds, and 27 window planter boxes. My wife was in the 🇺🇸 Army for 7 years and I retired from the 🇺🇸 Army after 21 years. We met on a FTX. All women need a M16 on their first date. I would love to garden full time and raise our flocks. But I am the breadwinner and my wife and kids have fun gardening and raising the flocks. Thanks for the video! We love watching Self Sufficient Me!!!

Something desperately needs to be done. Our returning soldiers are just being dumped on. Trauma is something that you can never get out of a person, once they get it - and so many of our troops return home, with trauma. FAR too many of them end up committing suicide. Your story is stellar. But what do we do for all the others? I've always lived by the mantra that - "if I have a belly full of food, somewhere warm to sleep at night, and someone I love, to share my life with, then I'm a rich man". Mark - you may not have billions - but you're doing pretty well. I wish others could Gotta run - have to clean up these tears. I'm walking a parallel path - suffering from depression - and "going it alone", borrowing from the ideas of AA, staying away from any of the things I know are "triggers". But this is much easier than "dodging the bullets" of trauma! I can admire you - but I can't say I envy what you've been through.

Loved this insightful view of Mark. Happened to come across it. Maybe you should re-release this on his channel. Thanks for amazing information and smiles.

Every time I feel stressed out I do 2 thing I watch Mark on RU-vid and I walk in the park most of the time I no longer need the park . When I retire I am going to get a house with a little yard and as Mark would say “get into it”

Mr. Mark I am so delighted by your channel. You look like my fill in heater ac guy a friend from Junior High and High School. Cool attitude, head high and assertive with being able to teach in a way that doesn't offend the ear. Thanks for your Service. I've loved your channel and today I managed to water today and clean the plants today you spoke of for thirty minutes at least. I started late plants but the wonderment is have you a road side stand Sir. I am gonna gonna go again next year with the Veggies. Thank you
